The authors illustrate the value to shareholders when closed-end funds repurchase shares at a discount from net asset value. Repurchases increase share price even when there is no asymmetric information concerning the value of the underlying assets and the percentage discount remains unchanged following the repurchase.

In an analysis of 27 open market repurchase announcements by closed-end funds, the regression coefficient estimate that measures the association between the actual excess return and the expected increase in share price is essentially 1.0.

In an effort to more fully integrate publicity into the marketing and promotion mix, the present study examines the influence of product-related newspaper, television, and radiopublicity on Lotto sales in the state of Colorado. The results of the present study indicate that in addition to Jackpot size, television publicity has a statistically significant positive impact on Lotto sales, whereas newspaper and radio publicity do not. Consequently, in their efforts to generate favorable publicity, lottery managers should emphasize the dissemination of jackpot size information via the television medium. Moreover, considering the observed 90% duration interval of .8651 weeks for the influence …
